the skin color of the models matched the colors of the ubuntu logo at the time; it would have been completely lost if they were fully clothed.

and yes, it is funny because the photographer did great work with these models and but it all ended up censored; so the humor ends up being people’s collective obsession with showing skin overriding the message contained in the work.

ubuntu is a bantu word that represents humanity’s collective nature and canonical used this trio of models as promotion materials.

i was working in the corporate world doing IT support when this and other images like it were used to promote ubuntu and our corporate overlords banned these images because the man was topless and the women were in bras and i know for a fact that we weren’t the only ones.

people care too much about how others are dressed; they need to get over themselves.

this article has a soft paywall; do you have the full text?

this was clearly another episode of the democrat’s rotating villain strategy and we should start recording how many times they keep employing this strategy for things that highly popular topics to make americans aware that their resentment is pointed at the wrong place.

they refused to do it before, so i’m glad that someone is making them do it. lol

calling this a watershed moment or characterizing it as a damn breaking is overselling it.

we saw the democrats recycle the same rotating villain strategy that they’ve been using since the 90’s to give ice & trump political cover in the last 1.5ish years, so there’s every reason to expect them to have used it here again just to virtue signal to their base to give the illusion that they’re “trying” to do something.

the true test of any watershed or damn breaking moment comes after the midterms when the democrats have a supermajority (again) and we’ll see if they bother to do anything besides more virtue signalling (also again).

exactly and he’s going to be in charge after this upcoming election.

aren’t those called tablets? lol

be sure to carry a change a clothes with you and lube because they’re going to have protective gear on and, even then, they going to jump out of the way and let it fall all over your clothes. lol

maybe use an ai summary?

good thing downvotes for saying such things don’t matter here. lol

it makes you wonder what excuses liberals are going to have for the democrats after the next elections when democrats have super majorities in both houses (again), but still don’t do anything with it (also again).

Trust me, literally no one from the US needs a reminder that our health care system sucks. We think about that [every four years or when we personally need it]

fixed it for you.

molotov cocktails are always okay. lol

careful! advocating against systemd in this community will get you branded for heresy. lol

it’s the opposite with isreal is concerned: orban was antizionist

These articles never mention the nuclear option and considering that the cease fire fell apart simply because they wanted to give Israel time to finish ethnically cleansing Southern Lebanon to the detriment of the world economy, it’s not a far fetched outcome.

this one is extraordinary in the way it’s been allowed to flourish in the us empire’s backyard.

i bet china does too and why they’re arming the irani’s.

… and could again if the ceasefire falls apart.

isreal’s already broken the ceasefire conditions, but cnn is pretending that it hasn’t already happened.

part of me is glad that social media that’s not controlled by the united states exists to make me aware of how much propanda is piped in front of our faces all day, every day.

my was my nick name from middle school and i’ve been regretting it for the last 22 years. lol
